摘要

interpack Processes and Packaging 2008 was a source of excellent business for the 2,744 exhibitors and 179,000 visitors for the exhibition that ran April 24 to 30 in Diisseldorf, Germany. As a result of contracts and leads, 97% of the participating companies have indicated their intention to exhibit at the next interpack in 2011.rnSimilarly, 97% of visitors surveyed also gave interpack 2008 top marks. "We have been able to harness the upbeat mood in the run-up to the event and translate it into a basis for closing business deals," says Wilhelm Niedergoker, managing director of Messe Diisseldorf GmbH . The proportion of visitors attending from outside Germany increased to 62%, with 121 countries represented. Attendees arriving from European countries (62%) were in the majority, but those from Asian nations (20%), and the Indian subcontinent in particular, were well represented.
